Philosophically speaking, can you call some persons as good for nothing?

I think that thinking that way is a form of separatism. What about the many things the family does have in common, like playing Thursday Scrabble or picking blueberries. You're thinking in terms of difference. I think the difference is useless. Its the similarities that are important, they are a human cohesion.

All my family is different, yet we had our set enjoyable things we like to do. Check out Wife Swap on youtube.com you'll see how similar and less different biological and adopted families are.

I have a lot of foreign friends. They have unqiue traits. Yet some of these foreign groups I quite get on with. Because I would find we were raised similarly or with the same values. And I have an abberation in my taste buds for foreign food. One in particul I call her my cousin bc we are so similar.

Phenomenologically speaking, you are interpreting this by focusin on one aspect of the two part relationship which is difference vs similarities.

Also don't believe everything you hear. Some guy in Norway found identical snowflakes in the 80s.

Another interesting thing, Casey Kasum, used to be a DJ for pop hits in America. Anyway it turned out his wife and he could not be married. They were as geneticaly similar as brother and sister, even having had two different parents and being raised across the globe from each other.

Thirdly, no one is useless. A person can be haughty and look down their nose and use their knwledge base to form an unsavory opinion of a person. But like in the Bible, many people are simply the salt of the earth. They help the world function through commerce working etc.

From a soul standpoint, everyone is equal and divine.

However there is good and evil. Saying we are all differen as you said promotes a dterminism that ppl are made by god good or bad. That's nature versus nurture and debatable. Tho most ppl share it is 40 percent nature and 60 % nurture.

Even so, if your point were true, ppl are bad or good. They can still learn the norms of society and learn how to behave and condition their brains to adopt new ideas and behaviors.

Let's say someone goes to a psychologist and they have crazy bad ideas and they wanna hurt people. They feel its inherent, the badness. Cognitively you could go in an educate the person about symptahy empathy etc

Anyway I think you're just focusing so mcuh on the differences.

Also try to broaden your socio historilogical viewpoint, you might say certain ppl from a certain culture are mostly bad. They are departed from you. They're not your family, they aren't your town, they aren't your county. They are an unrecognizable snowflake which you think is bad.

We do have norms that are different, yes. But look at that culture and read about the history its endured. The ppl in it are its products. Pain from a war or a fallen government have reprecussions on the mental and moral state of ppl far after their gone. So just be mindful, when trying to figure out how your snowflake can communicate effieicently, safely, and peaceably with theirs. But guard your differences and obey theirs. Try to find the middle ground.

btw, no one is really very unique in the world... dust to dust

I concur with you that every person is unique and has an intrinsic value. No one has given us rights to judge others with our own scales. Such criticism for others only shows our proud nature.Perhaps, Kabeer has written........once I went in search of someone who was good for nothing, I could not find anyone. But when I looked deep in myself, I found that I am the person who tops in the list of people who are good for nothing.

Is this a question or not? Yes, some people are good for nothing by any standard. Not every person has intrinsic worth.

The person that teaches us what NOT to do is every bit as important as the person that teaches us what TO do.

To each his own ! Who am i? Morality, belief, ideas, emotions, feelings, circumstance, etc. To each his own garden to till ; to each his own poison.However, they said, " His world will be right, if the man is right.".

well now, some people are NO good for anything, so yes you CAN call people good for NOTHING because they are no good.
